First of all when I was in Minnesota with my boyfriend Dave, a friend of ours played your music for us, saying it’s the best music around today. And he was right! When we heard your recording we were annihilated off the face of the earth! I’ve never heard anything so incisive in all my life. It’s a deft blend of delicate poise and raw power, kind of like a frolicking dragon. Have you ever read William Burroughs? Your music is reminiscent of the moods engendered in his work. Since our first listen, my boyfriend and I have become total addicts to your music and we’ve been going around telling all our friends how great you are. If your music was heroin, we’d be like those two kids in that film the Basketball Diaries! The fact that you don’t have a major deal is a crime.

Good stuff. Very interesting and unique. Keep it up…

You will be pleased to know that your album made the approved list for being played in the car driving across the Midwest with my partner’s mom… especially the a capella cut. She’s a singer in her choir.

My father told me something last night that you are gonna love! My youngest brother, Danny, just turned two. My father says that MY OYSTER is Danny’s favorite album. He likes the first song on it because of the rooster, so he calls the album (sorry) “ka-ka.” He’s a kid, what can you expect? You are profoundly shaping my brother’s life!

Our Town is great. The lyrics are really interesting. You have a great voice!” — Email to Pictoria Records, on My Oyster “Put me on the list for a My Oyster action figure or shower curtain.

My favorite songs are the first three plus Story of Heaven. Based on the old man and the tree song I initially had you pegged as somebody who listens to They Might be Giants and Paul Simon, but the rest of the album pretty much threw that out the window. Question: have you considered trying to write a musical? A show like _Les Miz_ is essentially a collection of story-telling songs held together with some staging glue. That’s what your style ultimately reminded me of. Good job!

I picked up your CD! Very interesting and diverse. Your voice has a lot of control & range. Was that your area of study at school?

You have a great voice and range.

I have enjoyed very much listening to the songs on your CD. Excellent work! You’ve got talent! Even though you have your own style, the songs kind of reminded me of Billy Joel’s style. The humor you used on the CD insert was hilarious!

It reminds both me and my husband of Danny Elfman.
